Product Description
Get Radeon in Your System - Immerse yourself with AMD Eyefinity technology and expand your games across multiple displays. Experience ultra-realistic visuals and explosive HD gaming performance in true ―EyeDefinition with AMD’s second generation graphics featuring full Microsoft DirectX 11 support. Enable incredible video quality and enhanced application performance with AMD EyeSpeed visual acceleration technology. Get unrivalled graphics. Get Radeon in your system.
The Sapphire HD 6870 has a new architecture with a total of 1120 stream processors and 56 texture units delivering massively parallel computing power for graphics and other accelerated applications. Its core clock speed of 900MHz, together with a dedicated high speed interface to 1GB of GDDR5 memory running at 1050MHz (4.2 Gb/s effective) delivers class leading performance. It boasts a very modest active power consumption and, using Dynamic Power Management, the card has a super low-power idle mode.
ATI Eyefinity technology maximises your field of view across up to three displays, fully engaging your peripheral vision. For gamers this puts you right IN the game and for other applications it helps to increase productivity by maximising your visual workspace so that you can see more windows simultaneously. ATI Eyefinity technology is also ideal for multimedia applications as it allows you to keep several ‘palettes’ or ‘panels’ open over a larger workspace whist you edit your images or videos.

I ordered this for my first new build. Installed easily and quickly. I've been playing C&C3 and Kane's Wrath on full with no framerate issues. Two screens work fine, Eyefinity works for me, though I dont use it as the borders of the screens interfere. Saving up for another for crossfire, where I hope for 3 screensto game with. The Old Republic also plays very well at full.

I have been using the Sapphire Radeon 6870 for like 2 weeks now and I have to say It's amazing. For the price you pay, you wont be disappointed. Since having this graphics card I have been playing games all maxxed out, games like Battlefield 3, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine and Skyrim, this card handles the games with no problems whatsoever. The amount of FPS it dishes out is very impressive.
Highly recommended !

The 6870 is enjoying a bit of a renaissance; since it's been updated by the 69xx series cards, the 68xx nonetheless remains a very competitive card but most importantly, the price has dropped substantially. The "Barts" GPU core was intended to update the older 58xx series with a die-shrink, improved antialiasing, crossfire performance, and cooling. The 6870 is actually a replacement for the 5770, rather than the 5870, and fits in between the 5850 and 5870 in performance terms.
As a standalone card, these are pretty fast; around Geforce 460 levels, but the real secret is Crossfire performance. I picked up two of these, and reviews have found that running two 6870s in CrossfireX mode delivers scaling on the order of 85-99% - i.e. very close to literally twice as fast. Two of these cards in concert are £100 cheaper than a single Geforce 580, but importantly, faster. I've been trying out these cards in various recent games such as the Hard Reset demo, and found that when AMD released the updated Crossfire profile for the title, average framerates went from 55fps with a single card to 120fps with two cards (using an i5 2500K at 4.3Ghz). Also remember these are DX11 capable cards, with tesselation and morphological AA support. Despite running two cards instead of one, these cards are quiet and run around 70C at full load under e.g. Furmark. I initially had a bit trouble using the HDMI-out on these cards, entailing some swapping around etc. and was never able to resolve it, but the DVI ports work fine and all is well now.
These are decent cards individually, but the sweet spot right is two of them. It's worth experimenting.
NB : for some reason, Sapphire didn't provide a Crossfire bridge connector with either card, which was a bit of a bummer. I was able to find one at a local PC repair/building place, however.
